I have backed up my drive several time but it doesn't work
when I want to transfer to XP Home ... how can i do this
so that I don't lose my present programs. I do my backups
to another hdd but I can't get XP to accept the tranfer?
I'm asking this in both Xp and 98SE groups. Would like to
know before I go and by software on 21st July.
